Agreed Jimbob (Hannibal ::)), it looks like a CD with front lower spoiler, boot spoiler & irmsher namebadge (plus chrome 'lpg' in place of 'omega 2.2'...don't like it personally :-/). As per Jimbob (Hannibal ;D), I too hate the tyres, lpg instal looks neat enough on the surface, car itself looks tidy but engine bay a bit scruffy & missing cable tray top looks crap but that's just cosmetic. Mileage isn't anything to shout about, as lots of low/lower mileage migs about. He is also being a little economical with the truth as regards the petrol/lpg mileage in my considered opinion? IR 22 -23 mpg around town on petrol & 18 - 19 on gas would be more believable ;) Long distance Motorway driving would probably return something like 28 - 32mpg on petrol & 24 - 26 mpg on gas, but  depends on the driver :-/
Oh, and the consumption/hr on tickover (with aircon on) is a bit high at 0.5 gal/hr? mine runs at 0.2 with 'eco' on & 0.3 with 'auto' on  :y

Even with the low miles and LPG its still too expensive.
For over £3000 you can get yourself a much better mig than that

Same old story, it's only worth what some one is prepared to pay for it.

Personally I think the LPG installation looks a bit untidy in the engine bay :-/ :-/

As for the consumption figure... I'll give him the benefit of the doubt as the engine is cold ;) ;)

Strangely I like the look of it. I have allways thought those CD alloys are the best looking wheels for the facelift, and the white wall tyres or white paint bit actually makes the car look individual.

Of course, we all like dfferent things.

I would like to have seen a full front picture, and it is a well put together add... :y

Vamps can you edit my quote... it makes me look illiterate, inebriated or both  ;) :D ;D ;D Glad you found the right one though :y my comments weren't directed at you or any other OOF member, just a reaction to looking at the ad.. swmbo is plod, so I'm possibly being a tad cynical but still reckon the digit '0' preceding the '52' used to be a '1'  ;)
